  Revo Uninstaller Pro 4 can remove Windows apps and browser extensions

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 9:57pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  We handle a lot of support inquiries and one of the most common questions is how do people fully remove installed software, especially a security suite. Problem is, most people do not realize that the software is often in use when they start their computer. This makes it really tricky for Windows to fully remove in-use software from your PC. In theory, next time you boot the uninstall process should continue and remove the rest of the application, but this often fails to execute. Revo Uninstaller Pro 4 has been released and it’s one of those essential applications (more on… [Continue Reading]

  Looking to a hire a boat on vacation? Download the Borrow a Boat app!

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 7:54pm CEST par Alex Eckardt

  The sharing economy is dictating how we plan our vacation. We’ve previously featured Airbnb and HomeAway, as well as Uber, Lyft and Coup in Berlin. There are now a number of options you may not have otherwise have experienced if it wasn’t due to the sharing economy. Now there is a slightly bizarre but interesting option if you wanted to take to the sea as it involves borrowing someone’s yacht when not in use. Borrow a Boat is being touted as the "Airbnb of the boating world", after the company launched its app earlier this summer. Using Borrow a Boat means… [Continue Reading]

  OnePlus confirms that the OnePlus 6T has no headphone jack and announces Type-C Bullets earbuds

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 5:35pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  News about the OnePlus 6T is coming thick and fast now, and the latest revelation comes direct from the horse's mouth. Company co- founder Carl Pei has confirmed that the upcoming handset is ditching the headphone jack, saying that it helps make way for "more new technology". So, moving forward you'll have to use either wireless headphones with the OnePlus 6T, or use a USB-C pair. And funnily enough, OnePlus has a set of Type-C Bullets earbuds that fits the bill!

  Microsoft quietly stops interfering with Chrome and Firefox installations on Windows 10

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 5:30pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Yesterday I revealed how Microsoft was interrupting attempts to install Firefox or Chrome on Insider builds of Windows 10 with an advert for its own browser, Edge. This boneheaded move, designed to get people to try Edge for more than just downloading another browser, was rightly met with fury here and across the internet, and Microsoft has now pulled the "advert", claiming it was just a test. But a test for what? To see how far it can push users? If you attempt to download and install Firefox or Chrome on an Insider build now you no longer see the… [Continue Reading]

  Cold boot attack leaves Apple and Microsoft systems vulnerable to data theft

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 4:42pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Researchers at cyber security company F-Secure have discovered a weakness in modern computers' firmware that attackers can use to steal encryption keys and other sensitive information. Physical access to the computer is needed to exploit the weakness, but once an attacker has gained this they can successfully perform the attack in around five minutes. "Typically, organizations aren’t prepared to protect themselves from an attacker that has physical possession of a company computer," says F-Secure's principal security consultant Olle Segerdahl. "And when you have a security issue found in devices from major PC vendors, like the weakness my team has learned… [Continue Reading]

  Kodi add-ons used to distribute currency miners

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 3:43pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Users of the Kodi media center may already know that the Netherlands-based repository for third-party add-ons, XvBMC, was recently shut down due to copyright violations. Researchers at security company ESET have discovered that the repository was also part of a malicious cryptomining campaign dating back to December 2017. This is the second instance of Kodi being used for cryptojacking this year. "According to our research, the malware we found in the XvMBC repository was first added to the popular third-party add-on repositories Bubbles and Gaia (a fork of Bubbles), in December 2017 and January 2018, respectively," says ESET's Kaspars Osis,… [Continue Reading]

  TP-Link unveils HS300 Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 3:16pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Smart outlets are awesome. In my home, I have a couple lamps plugged into them, allowing me to control lighting using my smartphone or Alexa. I can even turn the lights off and on remotely. Today, TP-Link brings smart outlets to a whole new level with its HS300 Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip. Not only does it allow you to control up to six outlets, but it will monitor energy use too. And yes, it features surge protection too -- it is ETL certified. Unfortunately, the number of joules is not disclosed, but we will update this article once we… [Continue Reading]

  New partnership aims to bring deeper insights from machine data

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 3:13pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The rise of the Internet of Things has presented businesses with huge volumes of data, but harnessing that to produce useful insights can be a challenge. A new partnership between Trifacta, a leader in data preparation, and Sumo Logic, a cloud-native machine data analytics platform, is aimed at driving improved business intelligence. "Today's analytics economy requires organizations to harness the power of machine data in order to gain critical insights that drive business decisions, but without the right tools it can be difficult to leverage for a specific set of business use cases," says Bruno Kurtic, founding VP of product… [Continue Reading]

  ADATA announces extremely rugged HD830 external HDD

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 12:43pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When it comes to external storage, solid state drives are ideal. Since they have no moving parts, they won't be damaged by being jostled about in a bag. Not to mention, they are significantly faster than mechanical hard disk drives too. The problem? Solid state drives can be rather pricey compared to hard drives when cost per gigabyte is considered. And so, some people still leverage HDDs when on the go. Looking to mitigate the potential dangers of using an external hard drive when out and about, ADATA today announces an extremely rugged model. Called "HD830," the aluminum body has… [Continue Reading]

  Samsung and Google are working together to bring RCS messaging to Android

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 12:21pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google has been working on RCS messaging for a little while now, hoping that the successor to SMS will take off. Earlier in the year, the company moved its Allo team to work on the RCS-based Chat. Now it has teamed up with Samsung. The two companies are working together to help speed up the adoption of Rich Communication Service, ultimately aiming for global coverage. One of the first goals, however, is to ensure compatibility between Android Messages and Samsung Messages. RCS will bring to traditional text messaging, chat-like features such as typing indicators, Wi-Fi connectivity, photo and video sharing,… [Continue Reading]

  Whatever you do, don't break one of Apple's new iPhones

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 12:00pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Yesterday, Apple took the wraps off three new iPhones -- the Xs, Xs Max, and the Xr. These are attractive, powerful smartphones, with a premium price to match. If you have the money to buy one, you’ll also perhaps need to factor in the cost of AppleCare, Apple’s insurance policy, which includes up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage (although you’ll still need to pay an excess charge for each repair). If you decide not to go for AppleCare and you break the screen, or damage the phone in another way, then the cost of an official repair will… [Continue Reading]

  With its new iPhones, Apple drops not only the home button, but also the free headphone dongle

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 11:19am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Yesterday's Apple event was mostly about heralding the arrival of the new -- a trio of new iPhones, and a new Apple Watch -- but it was also about losing a couple of things. None of the new handsets now feature home buttons, but this is not all that has gone. Although the price of the new batch of phones is high by pretty much anyone's standards, Apple has taken the decision to stop including a headphone dongle in the box. If you want to use traditional wired headphones with your new iPhone, you'll have to shell out on an… [Continue Reading]

  Apple bumps up the price of battery replacements

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 10:34am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  If you're thinking of getting an iPhone battery replaced, now is the time to do it. The announcement of the new iPhone pricing may well have made you consider hanging on to your existing handset for a little while longer, but if the battery is starting to show signs of age, a replacement will cost you more from next year. This is not something that was announced on stage, but while Apple was busy talking about the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xr, the iPhone Battery & Power Repair page of its support website was updated with new… [Continue Reading]

  Google is killing off its Gmail alternative Inbox

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 10:29am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google has announced that Inbox is to close in six months' time. After four years of service, many -- although not all -- of Inbox's features have been incorporated into Gmail, and Google now feels it is time to concentrate on a single email tool. Inbox users have until the end of March next year to consider whether to transition to Gmail, or whether they want to look for an alternative.

  The price you pay Apple for (so-called) iPhone innovation

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 9:01am CEST par Joe Wilcox

  Trendsetter Apple has done it again! Just when you thought there was no innovation left in the smartphone market, CEO Tim Cook delivers the wildly price-disruptive iPhone Xs Max 512GB for heart-stopping $1,449. Smartphones simply don't cost this much. What other company would stoop so low by reaching so high? This thing is a monster with its 6.5-inch (nearly) edge-to-edge display; 2688 x 1242 resolution at 458 pixels per inch (less than Google Pixel 2 XL at 2880 x 1440 and 538 ppi); and dual-SIM support (so telemarketers can ring more often on two numbers). For anyone whose hands aren't… [Continue Reading]

  Apple HomePod becomes slightly less terrible thanks to new software update

  Publié: septembre 13, 2018, 2:53am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  I generally love Apple products. Every day, I use an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac. For the most part, I am very satisfied with these devices. With that said, not all Apple products are great. For instance, Apple Watch, AirPods, and HomePod are spectacularly terrible. Not surprisingly, the products I hate are the ones released after the death of Steve Jobs. The HomePod may offer high sound quality, but its high price and limited usefulness make it an overall poor product. Oh and don't forget -- it can ruin your furniture. For the money, you are much better off… [Continue Reading]
